You painted more than the cabinets. You've done extensive painting, and it all looks great. Totally changes the feel of your kitchen. -
It looks great! Something we are wanting to do to our oak cabinets and when I see what a difference it makes, it just motivates me even more. What kind of paint did you use and did you use an adhesive, primer or sand? -
Hi Donna, thank you. To answer your questions, we first applied a gel stripper, waited for about 15 minutes then used a puddy knife to scrap off the varnish. Much faster and easier than sanding in my opinion. Then wiped off the cabinets with mineral spirits, then put up one coat of primer, 3-4 coats of white paint (Valspar's Swiss Coffee) then two coats of water based poly. Water based so it will not yellow over time but makes the cabinets easy to clean in the future. Hope this ...» -
Thanks for your answers. Good info. I know it will be quite a job and I'm dreading that part but when I see pics like yours, I know we have to do this. Such a wonderful difference. I will check out your blog. Thanks!
